Connecticut
While Connecticut was first
explored by the Dutch, who founded trading posts, the first
permanent settlements were made by English Puritans from
Massachusetts, starting in 1633. From the first, Connecticut
enjoyed a great measure of political independence, proclaiming
in its Fundamental Orders of 1639 a democratic principle of
government based on the will of the people. These Fundamental
Orders are said to have been the first written Constitution of
a democratic government; that's why Connecticut today is
nicknamed "The Constitution State.") Agriculture and trade
were primary activities of 17th century colonists, but because
of limited land Connecticut people quickly turned to
manufacturing.
During the American Revolution, Connecticut gave freely of her
blood and wealth. Her soldiers were on the battle line from
Quebec to Carolina. It was General Israel Putnam at the battle
of Bunker Hill who cried: "Don't fire until you see the whites
of their eyes!" Patriot-spy Nathan Hale, as he was about to be
hanged by the British, said: "I regret that I have but one
life to lose for my country."
To George Washington, Connecticut was "The Provision State"
because of supplies contributed to his army by Gov. Jonathan
Trumbull - the only Colonial governor, incidentally, to
support the cause of America's independence from Great
Britain.
From 1703 to 1875, Connecticut had two capitals; sessions
of the General Assembly met alternately in Hartford and New
Haven. Since then, the capital has been Hartford.
Below you are links to informational

blah. You get the picture. Take everything you read with a
grain of salt.) We have even included some
comical links such as the
Brady Campaign , because everybody enjoys a little
fictional reading from time to time.
